Many people have tried to prove their connection to the HILL-SMITHER (William Hill Sr.) line. Now more than ever, proof may be available for you to connect to. Two HILL-SMITHER researchers from independent branches of the tree have received perfectly matched DNA results at the HILL DNA PROJECT (http://www.livingston.net/hilldna/) DNA participant #4005 descended through Daniel HILL, and participant #4025 descended through Captain Robert HILL, have confirmed their researched connection to William HILL and Susannah SMITHERS through DNA testing. The beauty of this connection via DNA is that others can now confirm their connection to the line as well, by comparing their DNA results with the two above mentioned researchers. On the other hand, researchers may find that their results match one of the other lines posted at the HILL DNA PROJECT. The results of DNA testing can eliminate years of researching wrong lineages. Please join in on this project. Participants must be living MALEs with the surname HILL.
